Answer:  The Glorious Revolution

Details:

The Glorious Revolution in England was led by members of Parliament against King James II,  who had tried to assert greater power and control for himself as king, infringing on their rights.   The "revolution" was a change in government, mostly without violence.  In June of 1688, seven highly-placed Englishmen sent a letter of invitation to William of Orange (who was husband to James II's daughter Mary), inviting him to come to England and be supported by them and the people as king.  As king and queen, the new rulers of England became known as William III and Mary II.

The Glorious Revolution showed that the people could pursue a  change of ruling power. English philosopher John Locke wrote his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> in the wake of the Glorious Revolution, advocating that the people had the right to change a government if the government was not properly serving the people whom it governed.   Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, which includes choosing to form governments--and replace governments if necessary--to make society better and to protect their rights.  This was his application of the "social contract" theory.

Additional note:  Leaders in the American colonies became fans of the philosophy of John Locke, and believed they had the right to pursue a change in government and free themselves from control of Great Britain.

Name <br> three <br> innovations <br> in transportation <br> during <br> the 1800
Over [174]

Answer:

The use of steamships became very popular in the United States in the early 18oos after Robert Fulton had traveled to France and investigated what had been done there with the steam engine.  In 1811, the first in a line of river steamboats left the dock in Pittsburgh to steam down the Ohio River to the Mississippi and on down to New Orleans, a major port of the United States.  Steamboats were used on rivers and the great lakes for inexpensive transportation of goods.  However, there were hazards and many ships were damaged in their excursions.  Also, they burned wood and much deforestation took place during the era of steamboats.

A third advancement was in the construction of metal bridges which could sustain the weight of railroad cars, etc.  Plans for such bridges such as the Manhattan Bridge date back to the early 1800s.  

Another great boon to transportation was the creation of trains that could rapidly traverse the country with good.  Later, with the invention of the refrigerator car, produce from California could arrive fresh in New England, for example.  John Steinbeck's novel, East of Eden has a character who seeks to make money by transporting lettuce on the railways.  However, his idea was premature because the refrigerator cars were not yet made.
